Everybody has a deal breaker,something that would make them end the relationship with no questions asked.For some It's smoking,for some it's cheating..what would make you throw the towel in?For me I believe it would be cheating.

If someone is a smoker, don't even bother asking me out. I don't want to be around that nasty stuff and I don't want my kids around it either. If I am married, a cheating spouse would end the relationship for me. I am not having it. You can't respect me enough to be faithful, then I don't want you in my life.

I am disgusted by smokers also,but I think I could deal with it as long as they stepped outside,the smell sticks to their clothes though ;-/ I couldn't deal with a cheater either,I can share alot of things,but my man isn't one of them.

For me it would most definitely be cheating. That is one thing I cannot fix or repair therefore it would be a done deal. I would not be able to trust him again and that's a huge problem. Everything else that comes up my husband and I work it out but cheating is the deal breaker...

Right.There is a saying 'when the trust is gone the relationship is over'.I feel like If i can't trust you to not cheat on me,I can't trust you with anything else either.

For me it would be a liar; if you lie to me that means you will cheat on me which would lead to me not being able to trust you which would are three major deal breakers for me.

I don't think my husband will ever start to smoke or drink, but if I also don't know if it would be a reason to break up. Although I would not allow it in my house. Beating me (up) would make me kick him outside, same with stealing from me (money or .. ).

Cheating is definitely a deal breaker for me, but before that comes the lying. If I know that I have been lied to, then the relationship is over. That goes for friends, family, and colleagues. I don't see that there is ever a reason that it is okay for someone to lie. Truth never hurts, but lies destroy. Even when people use the excuse that they can't tell the truth because they don't want ot hurt someone...it is an excuse!

For me, I think it would depend on whether it was an established relationship or not. There are a lot of things that would prevent me from starting a relationship. But I think the two things that would end an established relationship would be cheating or lack of trust in general.

Cheating and abuse would be deal breakers for me. I don't understand why women go back to me who physically abuse them - especially in this day and age. I guess they have such a low esteem of themselves that they don't think they can do better? Not sure. If I saw a woman or knew a woman who did look like she was beaten by her boyfriend or husband, I would suggest strongly that she goes to the nearest women's shelter that will offer support and counselling for abused women. There is no excuse for domestic violence anymore.
